Rheum hybridum 'Raspberry Red' 

An outstanding new variety producing high quality deep red thick stalks without the need for forcing. The flavour is sweeter than other rhubarb varieties.

RHS Award of Garden Merit


Available for delivery: late November/December - late April.


 

Rhubarb is delicious in desserts and as it is so easy to grow and takes up very little room it deserves a place in every garden. The plants will tolerate full sun or partial shade, but it is important to make sure they are planted in a well-drained soil. It is equally suited to container growing. Our rhubarb crowns are supplied as large hand selected crowns and are available from late November to mid April. Livingstone is supplied in 9cm pots and is available all year.

 

If you’ve ever dreamt of harvesting your own vibrant, tangy stalks for pies, crumbles or that quintessentially British rhubarb and custard, you’re in the right place. Pomona Fruits offers a handpicked collection of rhubarb crowns for sale.

 

Are space constraints weighing on your mind? Rhubarb’s versatility might surprise you. These robust plants can thrive in borders, dedicated vegetable patches or even large containers. 

 

Perhaps you’re puzzled by the array of varieties available. We understand. That’s why we’ve put together a range of tried-and-tested cultivars. From the early-cropping ‘Timperley Early’ to the intensely red ‘Raspberry Red’, we’ll help you find the perfect match for your garden and palate.

 

Imagine stepping into your garden on a dewy spring morning, ready to harvest your very own rhubarb. With our rhubarb crowns, that vision can become your reality.

 

So why wait? Dive into the world of rhubarb cultivation today. Browse our selection, pick your favourites and let’s embark on this tangy, crimson-stalked adventure together. Your taste buds (and garden) will thank you for years to come.

 

For better establishment we strongly advise using Rootgrow when planting (as recommended in RHS planting guidelines).

(image for) Raspberry 'Glen Mor' (6 canes)(image for) New Product
£21.95Raspberry 'Glen Mor' (6 canes)Described as a game-changer, this new early variety has bomb-proof resistance to Raspberry Root Rot so is an ideal choice for wetter soils. The berries are consistently large throughout the season and have a superb, sweet flavour. The berries ripen around 9 days ahead of Glen Ample and cropping is over a 5-6 week period. Yields are heavier than Glen Ample and after a hot summer, the spine-free canes can fruit at the tips in the autumn. Sold Out

The fruits are exceptionally large and have a superb aromatic flavour. Very heavy cropping, producing up to double the yield of Autumn Bliss (one of its parents). The canes may not require supporting in sheltered gardens. Polka will commence cropping at least two weeks earlier than Autumn Bliss.Buy Now

£37.95Cordon Gage 'Oullins Golden Gage'Rated by the Victorian writer Hogg as having "exquisite flavour and handsome appearance," this old French variety is more like a plum than a true gage. The fruits are large by gage standards and particularly attractive - golden yellow with faint red spots. Eaten fresh, the flesh is sweet and gage-like with a fruity flavour, far superior to most shop-bought plums. The fruits are also excellent cooked and freeze very well.
